I'm thinking tiny garden gnomes (red hats, white beards and all), sitting at a dining table on a tongue (next to a giant sprout), eating miniature versions of the same sprout with knife and fork.

Are fresh sprouts seriously as dangerous as raw milk?
Depends on the sprouts and the milk in question, but both are high-risk vectors for foodborne illness.
Cooking the sprouts, much like pasteurizing milk, minimizes the threat. I still avoid cooked sprouts, though; I've smelled enough overnight raw sprout enrichments to know that I don't want anything to do with that crap.

What does an "overnight raw sprout enrichment" entail?
25 grams of sprouts, 225 mL of a non-selective or mildly selective growth medium, and 35 - 37 C overnight. The purpose of this step is to resuscitate potentially injured cells and allow the organism to grow to a concentration that we can test effectively. Samples with high enteric flora loads, like sprouts or raw milk, will wind up smelling something like a sewer.
About a month ago, my mother had a going away party for one of her employees. One of the wives of her employees made some of the most delicious rice cake/onigiri type dishes. It wasn't really onigiri, but it was like it. It was puck-shaped and it had crab meat and cream cheese in the middle. At the party I would just praise her on the food and made such a big deal that it was gone before the end of the night.
The lady was very flattered by my praise that her husband just brought me more today. Sooo delicious!

You've been very lucky lately with the food stuffs, kudos on that.

i was thinking the same thing too. I always try to give praise when I have delicious food because I know it takes effort. But, oh mans. These rice pucks. They are going to be my dinner.
What's even better is that you can actually get that app on your Android phone and it spits out random phrases depending on what animal you choose to "translate".

Well, fuck it. I still eat oysters on the half, and I'll still eat salads and sprouts. I'm definitely a big T personality.

This game about dealing with 4D puzzles looks amazing. It was mentioned in today's XKCD.
